The opening of the Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay hotel marks the third location within the Royal Mansour Collection in Morocco. After Casablanca and Marrakesh, the luxury group is now expanding towards Morocco’s Mediterranean coast.
“The third exclusive hotel in the Royal Mansour Collection celebrates its western Mediterranean location through the art of hospitality and fine dining. From the sleek architecture and exquisite cuisine to the fragrant gardens and shimmering waters, everything about the new Tamuda Bay luxury resort celebrates the unique art de vivre of the Alboran Sea, where continents, cultures and civilisations converge”, Royal Mansour explains.
The new location comprises 55 luxury villas and suites, which have been designed in a contemporary-yet-rooted-in-Moroccan-traditions style. From the outside, the buildings’ simple and sleek look blends in perfectly with the surroundings. On the inside, guests will be able to find local weavings, zellige tiles, marble mosaics and a lush amount of plants reflecting the vegetation surrounding the site.
With a minimum surface of 80 square metres, the villas and suites are all on the larger side. The Privilege Seafront Villas, however, are the biggest and the most exclusive offerings of the hotel, boasting a private pool and butler service.
Aside from the splendid location on the Mediterranean coast, about 1.5 hours from Tangier, the Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay hotel clearly focuses on gastronomy. Three Michelin-recognised chefs cater to three different tastes with three separate restaurants on-site. Spanish chef Quique Dacosta offers seafood-heavy cuisine at Le Méditerranée, while Éric Frechon blends French and Japanese influences at La Table and brothers Massimiliano and Raffaele Alajmo cook in true Italian style at Coccinella.
While luxurious and gastronomy-oriented hotels might not always cater to families, the Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay hotel welcomes guests of all ages. A special beach club is available on-site for children between the ages of four and twelve, while younger guests are entertained during calligraphy, cooking and music classes which are all based on Arabic traditions. A kids-on dining room includes kids-sized furniture and a special menu for the youngest guests.
Adult guests can give their stay an adventurous twist while water biking, kayaking, foil surfing, wake surfing, water skiing and wakeboarding. Seabobs are available for underwater discovery and two Riva boats ensure calm water excursions. Once the spa is opened, which is scheduled to happen in December 2024, all kinds of treatments and pools will provide a calming touch.
